fog city detective

Liang Xi asked, "Why Maria? There are a lot of security guards there."

Poppy replied, "I'm familiar with Maria Hospital."

Liang Xi said: "Not tonight, I stayed all night last night, I want to rest well tonight."

Poppy asked, "When is that?"

Liang Xi replied: "Wait for me to be happy. If I can receive Lily's bounty, I will be happy right away."

Poppy said very upset: "I can do it alone without you."

Liang Xi laughed: "I wish you good luck."

Poppy glanced at Liang Xi in dissatisfaction, stood up and left.

……

A stupid bird is a stupid bird. You are familiar with the hospital, but can you be familiar with the morgue?Although Liang Xi firmly believes that there are no ghosts in this world, Liang Xi also provides services to customers who think there are ghosts in the world.Couldn't the Hindu police help catch the thief if the Pope lost the golden cross?

Now Poppy thinks that he is only worth two hundred, and he must improve his own value, because Liang Xi found that Poppy is a long-term meal ticket and must increase his first salary.As for why Poppy was obsessed with seeing ghosts, Liang Xi didn't want to understand, maybe Poppy had really seen ghosts, maybe Poppy was full, maybe Poppy had mental problems.It doesn't matter, the pound is fine.

Assuming that there are ghosts in the world, Liang Xi's inference is correct. The hospital has the highest density of ghosts and is the most likely place to find ghosts.In order to improve his salary and remuneration, Liang Xi decided to visit the hospital during the day to find out the structure and layout of the hospital.The most important places are: wards, morgues, and operating rooms.

This is detective thinking. Bobby has been looking for ghosts for a day or two. He is alone and has no helpers, which means that he has not found an assistant he recognizes.When he appeared, Bobby recognized himself and proposed the idea of ​​hiring himself.When Bobby inevitably continues to fail, think of himself.Don't believe the saying of 500 pounds of pocket money. A person with [-] pounds of pocket money a month can easily get [-] million pounds with just a word.So it's not a question of money, but a question of Bobby not fully realizing his worth.

But can the detective agency continue?While the sideline business is flourishing in an all-round way, the performance of the detective agency is still sloppy.

……

Maria Hospital can be said to be one of the best hospitals in Europe, they have the best medical staff, the most cutting-edge equipment, and the best people.There is basically no queue to see a doctor, the service is good, the efficiency is high, and the professionalism is strong. The only disadvantage is that the fees are expensive.

UK hospital visits are free, commonly known as GP checks.Patients go to public or private hospitals for further diagnosis and treatment according to the recommendation of their GP.Usually higher-income groups buy specific commercial medical insurance, and patients with commercial medical insurance can reimburse 80% to 95% of the cost in private hospitals, and all drugs are covered by insurance.

Liang Xi had breakfast and went back to the detective agency to make an appointment with a GP. The GP is a general practitioner and is called a family doctor in some countries.Liang Xi made an appointment with a general practitioner at Maria Hospital.Some large private hospitals also have general practitioner services. Non-British people, such as tourists and international students, who are not within the scope of universal free medical care, can go directly to private hospitals for treatment if they are sick.The downside is that most patients believe that the doctors at Maria Hospital are highly qualified and that the number of appointments is high.

Wouldn't this delay the hospital's profitability?No, take John's commercial medical insurance from Bob Insurance Company, which owns more than 30 private hospitals and nearly 300 nursing homes and nursing homes.If you buy insurance, you will become a member and have priority for medical treatment and treatment in Bob's hospitals.Simply put, you can jump in the queue.

The general practitioners of Maria Hospital are divided into two parts, one part is free consultation for non-members, and the other part is free consultation only open to members.Liang Xi did not purchase commercial medical insurance, and could only make an appointment for a free free clinic for non-members.Not bad luck, the online appointment showed that Liang Xi's consultation time was [-]:[-] this afternoon.

Chapter 33 Stepping on the Wind and Cloud

Maria Hospital occupies a large area. The core main building complex is a rectangular structure with a small park in the middle.The first floor is for emergency department and general clinic.The second floor is the examination room, which has everything from MRI to blood tests.The third floor is the intensive care unit and the ICU.Intensive care units refer to critically ill patients whose condition cannot be determined.The fourth floor is the operating room and the supporting examination room.For example, craniotomy is not only a means of treatment, but also a means of diagnosis. Unidentified objects in the brain are cut, and tests are performed immediately during the operation, so that the patient only suffers the pain of the operation once.

Sometimes diagnosis is far more important than treatment.In modern medicine, various diseases have corresponding treatment methods, or there is no treatment.The strength of the diagnostic team is directly related to the strength of the hospital.A severe disease usually requires consultation with experts in multiple fields.

Liang Xi made an appointment for flat feet and arrived at Maria Hospital on time.Although it was nearly four in the afternoon, there were quite a lot of people waiting for the doctor.Liang Xi entered the consultation room. After the examination, the doctor regretted and told Liang Xi that there was no cure for the disease, but physical methods could be used to make Liang Xi feel more comfortable, such as using insoles specially made for patients with flat feet.The doctor suggested that Liang Xi should choose upper body exercise instead of physical labor, long-distance running and mountaineering.Not only because of the lack of stamina of Liang Xi's feet, but also easy to damage the feet.

In such a short time, Liang Xi basically figured out the layout of the first floor. He grabbed a nurse's clothes and a mask from the emergency room, entered the elevator generously, and took the elevator to the morgue in the basement.So far so good.

Mortuary and hospital backup generators are on the ground floor.There are three morgues, with an open-plan office in the middle, where an employee is doing paperwork.When the staff saw that Liang Xi was about to ask questions, Liang Xi covered his mouth and seemed to want to vomit.The staff asked kindly, "Are you alright?"

"Traffic accident." Liang Xi pointed to his head: "The supervisor asked me to calm down."

The staff understood what Liang Xi meant, and Liang Xi was disgusted by the scene when he was dealing with the injured in a traffic accident.Worker: "Sit down casually." Concentrate on paperwork, he has seen many similar situations.

Liang Xi paused for a while, chatted with the staff a few words, and learned that the bodies placed in the three mortuaries here are different.There are morgues for infectious patients.In morgues where the cause of death is still undiagnosed, doctors will try their best to persuade the patient's family to donate the body for autopsy.Another is a normal mortuary.

The staff got up, swiped the door lock with the ID card, opened the ordinary mortuary, took the hardboard folder and entered the cabinet that has been used to register.

When the staff came out, Liang Xi got up: "What time do you get off work?" Lock the key to open the mortuary.

Staff: "Six o'clock."

Liang Xi nodded: "Thank you, I'm leaving."

The staff did not raise her head.

……

Liang Xi came out of the elevator and saw a gun pointed at him.What the hell!This security bull...

Then Liang Xi was pushed aside, and a man in his 40s raised a shotgun and fired a shot at the ceiling, roaring: "Back, back."

What's going on?It turned out that the man named Dolly rushed into the hospital with a gun and drove the waiting patients and medical staff down the aisle.The security did not dare to shoot rashly.As Dolly passed the elevator, Liang came out and was dragged into the hostages by the way.

"Go in." Dolly fired again, ordering the seven hostages to enter the female staff locker room.

Baker's sister, Karin, is also hostage, and she's ready to subdue Dolly while his back is on them.Just as he was about to be grabbed by Liang Xi's wrist from the side, Liang Xi said with relief, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid." He took off his mask.

"You?" Karin saw that Liang Xi didn't return to her senses for a while and hired him. Why did Liang Xi come to the hospital as a nurse?

Liang Xi supported Karin's shoulder and walked inward, whispering, "He didn't want to kill anyone."

Karin: "Oh!" She didn't dare to mess around now, she wasn't sure to deceive Liang Xi.

The layout of the women's locker room is similar to that of a king, with the main aisle upright, the locker and chairs on both sides, and the shower room in the deepest part.Dolly closed the locker room door and secured the lock with a chain around his neck disguised as a gold chain.Dolly looked at the hostage and shouted, "Sit down, all sit down."

The hostages sat obediently on long stools in the aisle.Dolly's phone rang, and the answer was very gentle: "Hey, baby, you're all right, I assure you. Be obedient, Dad is busy, and I'll see you later."

Hanging up the phone, Dolly bowed his head and leaned against the wall with his gun hanging silently.Suddenly Dolly walked quickly to the locker room door, opened it a crack, and shouted out, "Where's the police? Where's the police?"

Liang Xi and Karin sat side by side on the stool. Liang Xi, like coaxing a baby, patted the back of Karin's hand: "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Karin looked at Liang Xi and wanted to laugh, but she was helpless.

Karin asked, "Why are you here?"

When Liang Xi comforted Karin, his eyes were on Dolly, and when he heard the question, he turned around and approached Karin's ear to explain.Karin turned her head in confusion, her breath blowing on Liang Xi's face, making Liang Xi's blood boil.

The fat nurse sitting opposite said dissatisfiedly: "What about kidnapping, can you be more serious?"

Liang Xi and Karin turned their heads together, Liang Xi was embarrassed to ask: "Why am I here?"

Karin felt a little uncomfortable inside, and she hated the sudden appearance of subtle feelings, albeit only a little.Liang Xi's appearance is good, but it's only good. Karin is looking forward to a man who is at least stronger than himself.How could Karin and Liang Xi suddenly have a subtle relationship?From a psychological point of view, Liang Xi was purely motivated.And Karin was affected by the signal released by Liang Xi.

For example, in school, a man and a woman were often coaxed by their classmates, and then they were inexplicably together when they were fine.When outsiders distort a fact, the idea of ​​the person involved may also be distorted, which is called suggestion in psychology.

Fortunately, both of them are rational, Liang Xi knows that there is a big gap in identity and class between himself and Karin.Karin is a neurologist who is valued by the director of Maria Hospital and who is focusing on training.Beautiful, good figure, high knowledge, unlimited future.I'm a detective who goes all over the place.Liang Xi's idea of ​​this was also hinted at.Although you think that a detective is amazing, TV talk shows and Internet culture ruthlessly mock the detective profession, and the reactions of others after learning that you are a detective all explain and imply that detectives are a low-level profession.People who are engaged in low-level occupations are naturally classified as low-level people.

Although Liang Xi thinks that the detective profession is good, he knows very well what the outside world thinks about the detective profession.He looks down on himself, and he also knows that others look down on his career.

Karin really doesn't like Liang Xi, she has no problem with being friends, but it is impossible to go further.As a strong woman, it is difficult for the weak Ji Liang Xi to gain Karin's respect.Findings: The stronger people are, the more likely they are to use force rather than laws or rules to solve problems when confronted with conflicts.What's more, Karin, who has never taken the law and rules very seriously.

The kidnapper Dolly leaned on the ground and looked at the hostage in a panic. His face was exhausted: "As long as you cooperate, I will not hurt you."

A male patient in his 60s asked, "Dude, what's going on?"

Dolly shook his head, grabbed his hat and wiped away tears, holding his gun, leaning on the locker with his eyes blank and waiting for the police to arrive.

Chapter 34 Stepping on the Wind and Cloud

Ten minutes later, the police began to negotiate with Dolly. Dolly had only one request, which was to ask the hospital to operate on her daughter.It turned out that Dolly was from Poland, and his daughter failed to see a doctor in Poland, so the bathroom took his wife and eight-year-old daughter to England for treatment.After studying the condition, the medical team decided that surgery was the only way to confirm the diagnosis.But because Dolly is not British, the hospital did not agree to operate on his daughter.In addition to medical expenses, the most important thing is that the operation is very difficult and risky.

This operation is called deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.First let the patient quickly lower the question and enter a state of suspended animation, then draw out a large amount of blood from the patient, and then pour it back.After finding the position of the blood clot in the patient's brain through blood flow, a craniotomy is performed immediately to remove the blood clot to complete the treatment.This operation is extremely difficult, any link may go wrong, even if there is no mistake, it still needs the blessing of the god of luck.Considering the patient's physical condition, a god of luck may not be able to bear it.

The hospital decided to send the little girl out of the hospital after one to two days of conservative treatment.The little girl's father, Dolly, can't accept that his child will die sooner or later.Desperate, he stole the gun from his cousin in London, rushed into the hospital, took hostages and forced the hospital to operate on his daughter.

The attending doctor went to the door to communicate with Dolly in person. He told Dolly that if he was lucky in conservative treatment, his daughter could live for several years.Dolly asked the doctor, if he was lucky, his daughter would have to struggle for several years before dying?The doctor was silent for a long time, and said to Dolly: The operation risk is very high, and she may not be able to get off the operating table.Dolly asked desperately: At least there is hope, right?If it was your daughter, what would you choose?

Dolly roared maniacally: "You only care about the reputation of the hospital, never consider the patient, never, never."

Facing Dolly, who was out of control, the police asked the doctor to leave.Dolly cried again, a desperate cry.Facing the poor father, the hostages began to comfort Dolly. A 60-year-old man told Dolly about his pain of losing his son.His son died on the operating table.He shouldn't have agreed to the operation, and he still can't forgive himself until now.Because of the death of his son, his wife divorced him, and he also became an alcoholic.

You persuaded me one sentence at a time, and Liang Xi, who has been silent all the time, said: "Don't threaten me to help you, because I can help you."

Everyone couldn't understand, and looked at Liang Xi together.Dolly was confused, and Liang Xi said, "Don't threaten me."

Dolly shot: "Help me or I'll kill the hostages."

Liang Xi said helplessly: "For the safety of the hostages, I can only help you. Let's analyze one thing first. The police have thermal imaging, and their bullets will shoot you directly through the wooden door. You can also directly raid with shock bombs. You need a hostage to sit by the door and let the police temporarily give up the attack." Liang Xi looked at the fat nurse.

Fat Nurse: "Hey!" Did I get fat to eat your meal?

For making you talk too much, Liang Xi said apologetically, "I'm sorry."

Dolly raised his gun: "Past."

The fat nurse glared at Liang Xi angrily, walked to the door and shouted, "I'm a hostage, I'm sitting at the door now, don't mess around."

Liang Xiangdao: "You have to know two points. First, the police will not negotiate with the gangsters, because today you can hold the hostages to achieve the goal, and tomorrow others can hold hostages to achieve the goal. Normally, the police will not agree with your final Conditions. Secondly, if the hospital does the surgery that the health supervision department thinks should not be performed, regardless of the success or failure of the operation, they face rectification and huge fines. Even if you hold hostages, the hospital must communicate with the police. Will help your daughter operate. It's much easier to attack by force."

Liang Xidao: "The best way is to kill a hostage. Of course, if you do kill the hostage, I won't help you. So we can't use the best way, we can only use the next best way: find a reporter , let the public know about this matter. The first purpose: to make public opinion ferment quickly, the people will not pay attention to bureaucrats, interests, rules and other issues, they have the most direct preference and judgment. Exchange the lives of seven hostages for one Surgery is acceptable to most people."

Liang Xidao: "The second purpose is to let the hostage's family members put pressure on the police to further prevent the police's plan to attack. The reporters want to choose Internet celebrity reporters. These Internet celebrities will do anything to become famous, and they are very clear that this is a hype and attract fans. Good opportunity. They will definitely put you in the position of the weak and the victim. Say you ask to see the influencer reporter within an hour, the police will tell you that an hour is not enough. You answer, within 45 minutes, the influencer reporter If you don't get there, kill a hostage. The police are still talking nonsense, explaining why there is not enough time. You reduce the time to 30 minutes. Let the police bring in a deck of cards, the police will ask you the reason, you answer, you pass the lottery to decide which hostage will die first."

Karin couldn't help but reminded in a low voice, "You'll be in trouble doing this, and the judge won't think you're threatened."

Liang Xi nodded: "It makes sense, then I won't say it. Dolly, even if you threaten me again, I won't give in to help you." He winked.

Dolly was smart enough to pick up the phone and call the police negotiator, asking, "Who is the famous Internet celebrity journalist in London?"

Liang Xi spread his hands, he really didn't know.The fat nurse said, "Catherine."

"I'm going to see Catherine in an hour and give her permission to stream," Dolly told the phone.

Negotiation expert: "No problem, but finding someone in London for an hour is very difficult..."

Dolly: "45 minutes."

Negotiator: "Mr. Dolly, calm down. We must first ensure the safety of the hostages."

Dolly: "You only have half an hour now, give me a deck of cards."

The negotiator asks: "Poker?"

Dolly: "Hostages are equal and God decides who dies first."

"Okay, okay, please calm down, we are already contacting Catherine." Negotiation expert: "In the spirit of humanitarianism, we must provide you and the hostages with enough water and food. You also know that there are three patients inside. If If we can, let's ask a doctor to bring food and water into the locker room to check on the patient, okay? A little more kindness, a little more hope."

Dolly warns: "Don't play tricks."

Negotiation expert: "Absolutely no tricks. Female doctor, okay?"

Dolly looked at Liang Xi, Liang Xi nodded, pointed to the gun, and then pointed to himself.

……

The fat nurse took off the chain and opened the door. A female doctor brought food and water, and a first aid kit entered the locker room sideways through the crack of the door.The fat nurse closed the door and hung up the chain.

Dolly pointed the gun at Liang Xi: "You go."

Liang Xi stepped forward: "I'm sorry." He took the food and water and put it aside.

Liang Xi reached for the first aid kit, but the doctor blocked it with his right hand: "I'm a doctor."

Liang Xi said helplessly, "I'm a hostage." He still took the first aid kit.

Open the first aid kit, there are syringes, medicines, really a first aid kit.The female doctor shook her head to Liang Xiqing, indicating that Liang Xidang didn't see it, and took out a small pistol from the bottom of the first aid box: "Report the gangster, she is a policeman."

The female doctor stared at Liang Xi with round eyes, Liang Xi explained, "Didn't you see the gun pointed at me? I'm afraid of death. Please face the wall, put your hands on your head, cross your fingers, and spread your legs apart. I want to search your body. ."

Chapter 35 Stepping on the Wind and Cloud

The female doctor was pushed by Liang Xi to face the wall. Liang Xi took out a small pistol from her socks, tied two handcuffs, removed the button camera, and even vulgarly stretched her hand into the female doctor's clothes to remove the hidden recordings. intercom.

Dogleg Liang Xi smiled and asked, "Mr. gangster, do you think you need to tie her up?"

While the hostages couldn't help laughing, Liang Xi tied the female doctor's hands and feet with ties and handcuffs. Dolly cooperated and said, "Very good, you are doing well, I can consider not killing you first."

"Thank you, Mr. Gangster, and I will obey any orders you give."

The female doctor kicked Liang Xi with her feet angrily. What kind of dog-legged hostage is this?

Liang Xi said: "Mr. gangster, I'm doing so well, can I call my family to report safety?"

Dolly nodded, "Yes."

Liang Xi took out his mobile phone and called Bobby: "Bobby, I'm being held hostage, come and save me, two hundred is two hundred."

Poppy wondered: "What?"

Liang Xi: "I was held hostage by gunmen. I am worried that the police force will cause my death, so please save me."

Poppy thought for a while: "Are you at Maria Hospital?"

Liang Xi: "Are you dedicated to your work?"

Poppy chuckled: "One hundred, you can be on call."

Liang Xi: "Grass XX."

Poppy: "Goodbye."
